Yes, F-4/Trop is good old F-4, just meant for combat in Africa, so the factual difference between tropical F-4 and the regular F-4 is just a dust filter, if I recall correctly.

Eh. I like the F-4 and I go up against planes higher than the original F-4. I'm sure the Trop version will do just fine. Wish it was slightly better though.

¿You ever heard of the ki-45?

If the f7f flies even like a faster P-38, it will be cool. The thing was fast as gently caress, and looks absolutely gorgeous. They have an airworthy one at pima.

And its guns are super tightly placed. Even the stuff in the wings is packed in the wing roots iirc.

Last night I took one of those out for the first time. A Yak-1 and a P-63 dove on a friendly Zero 1 KM below me. I flipped over, dove on them, caught them almost instantly. The Yak tried to turn away. I turned with him at around 500KM, out turned him, and blew his wing off. Then I snapped back onto the P-63 and blew it apart. I was promptly murdered by an IL-2, but the Ki-45 is loving insane. :stare:

Y'all won't listen to me about the Ki-96, which is significantly better than the 45.

Without getting spoilery, the mantra with headons is that it takes two to tango, and you only accept one if you have literally no other choice in the universe.

Let me restate the two rules of head ons:
1. Never head on
2. Win
If you follow this you too can become master of head ons.


IDK how applicable this is to the movie.

Yeah, adding the P-61 Black Widow would be nice. Look forward to them just copy/pasting the F7F model onto it whenever it gets released.

Don't call Gaijin's statistics-based balancing nothing! Clearly their system is totally not biased/broken/wrong/utter loving poo poo when it says literally identical planes should have different BRs.

I seriously hope whoever is responsible for their MMing system contributes something otherwise useful to their "small" team, otherwise they need to hurry up and fire him; if that's his primary role, he's failing miserably at it.

Seems to me like the biggest problem with their methodology is they aren't weighting the inputs to their BR stat algorithm based on player ELO or w/l or whatever. John McCain getting shot down shouldn't factor into the BR stats for his plane as much as someone that wins a match every now and then.
